Question

if the couple conceives, and a genetic test confirms that the fetus will have the disease, should the pregnancy be terminated? explain your reasons.

Answer 1

I believe NO! Because the child should be given the opportunity to be born. Every baby is meant to have a purpose and what if the baby is the one who can cure cancer or finds a cure to there own disease. It not only hurts the baby but hurts the parents as well. No baby should be conceived to sadly be murdered because they are different or have a disease.there is always a chance for a cure and they may be the best thing to ever happen to you. It is in my opinion not right take the babies life because they are not completely normal. They can still have a good life just a little different than most. Every family has their own normal. Life is precious and should be protected especially when the baby can’t defend itself or have the right to choose their own life. They solely rely on their mother which is to be their greatest protector and advocate to always protect and put their lives first. If the mother won’t believe in them or protect them who will? As a parent you choose to put someone’s life and safety in your hands no one would want to have been killed if that baby were them. Please don’t consider harming a baby that will need love and support more than ever. The baby will be different but different doesn’t have to be a bad thing it can be a positive thing if you make positive. I hope this helps or answers your question. I am by no means trying to offend you just expressing my thoughts on the topic and I respect you if you do not agree because I think everyone has a right to express their perspectives without being criticized I hope you can do the same. Thank you for reading my thoughts even if you do not agree I hope this may show you another perspective to consider. If you don’t mind me asking what made you decide to ask this question most people don’t like to hear answers about a topic that has many different perspectives for many people?
